2. According to the idea of Karma, all of our actions lay down imprints.

3.To heal present sickness, we have to engage in positive actions now.

To prevent sickness occurring again in the future, we have to purify, or clear, the negative karmic imprints that remain on our mindstream.

4.The basic root of our problems and sickness is selfishness.

5. Visualisation can be very powerful healing.

One method is to visualise a ball of white light above your head, with the light spreading in all directions. Imagine the light spreading through your body, completely dissolving away all sickness and problems. Concentrate on the image of your body as completely healed and in the nature of light.

Christian patients can visualise the light as Jesus, with the light emanating from him.

Whenever she had an epileptic attack, the girl would see a frightening apparition coming towards her.

After the initial prayers had been performed, however, her attacks lessened and she would see a brick wall between her and the frightening figure. Eventually the attacks and visions disappeared altogether.

7. Another powerful method of healing is to meditate on thought transformation.

These methods allow a person to see the problem or sickness as something positive rather than negative.

If someone gets angry at us, we can choose to be angry in return or to be thankful to them for giving us the chance to practice patience and purify this particular karma.

We can use our sickness and problems in a very powerful way for spiritual growth, resulting in the development of compassion and wisdom.

"A buddha, one who is perfectly spiritually awakened, has gone a further step.

"A buddha has no mental suffering of his or her own, but is vividly and non-dually aware of the suffering of others...

"A buddha, one who is fully awakened, presents the paradox of being free from suffering and also non-dually present with other people's joys and sorrows, hopes and fears.

"A buddha taps into immutable bliss, the ultimate ground state of awareness beyond the dichotomy of stimulus-driven pain and pleasure.

"The mind of a buddha has been purified of all obscuration and from its own nature there naturally arises immutable bliss, like a spring welling up from the earth.

"With the unveiling of the buddha-nature of unconditioned bliss, there is also a complete erosion of an absolute demarcation between self and other.

"The barrier is gone.

"This is why buddhas are vividly and non-dually aware of the suffering of others, their hopes and fears, the whole situation, and at the same time are not disengaged from the purity and bliss of their own awareness.

"The mind of a buddha doesn’t block out anything and nothing is inhibited, and this is why the awareness of an awakened being is frequently described as 'unimaginable.'"

"All the delightful things of the world - sweet sounds, lovely forms, all the pleasant tastes and touches and thoughts - these are all agreed to bring happiness if they are not grasped and possessed.

But if you regard them merely as pleasures for your own use and satisfaction and do not see them as passing wonders, they will bring suffering.
-Sutta Nipata

For all of us, the path to bliss is necessarily fraught with trials and some pain.

But for the monstrously evil, this life is easy. Only later is it beset with enduring and unimaginable pain and terror.

We are all happy be superior and to point the finger at others, at the evils they commit. And we are content to fight external evil. But this is easy, the lesser battle. And we are even slowly winning in this world.

The greater battle is something far more difficult.

Bliss, inner peace, the perfecting of the soul, to be at one with others.This is to extinguish the evil in your own nature.

You think it's not there? Look again. Look closer.

There are two paths to redemption. The straight path and the path of pain.You absolutely do not want to take the second.

You think evil people attain bliss on leaving this world? Something for nothing.No? So how do you remove residual evil?
